This is the unlikely success story of the Mazda MX-5 Miata: the world’s bestselling 2-seat roadster and the only remaining true lightweight sports car.

It almost never happened in the first place. Had its makers listened to the experts, it never would have happened. And if Mazda listened to its own customers, it would have never succeeded.

Wish I could fit in a Miata, they are fun little cars, but I’m too tall and spend the whole time getting my knees slammed into the dash.

I had a 6’ plus friend who bought a first production model Miata when they came out. He had to fold himself into it, but it was probably his favorite car he ever owned. There’s just something ridiculously fun about those cars.

Could change out the seat for a thin bucket seat mounted as far back as it’ll go.

Did you try an NC? I’m 6’ and fit a little better in an NC than my ND.
